Coleman's alarm rang loudly and echoed in the room. He groaned at the sound, but he forced himself to get up and out of bed. He tapped his phone screen and the alarm was dismissed.
He groaned a bit, while he sat up. Coleman drowsily opened his eyes. Even though he had just waken up, he still looked handsome. His hair was messy and out of order, but it still looked charming as it swayed.
He ruffled his hair and massaged his scalp as he took a deep breath. Everyday Coleman got up very early. No matter what, he never wanted to be late to something. Wether it be a meeting, event, or even a simple outing. So, he always stook to a schedule.
Every morning, he would wake up at 4am and go for a morning jog. He got up and out of bed and walked over to his bathroom.
Coleman twisted the faucet and washed his face with the cold water. He reached out his right hand and grabbed a small towel, and wiped his face dry.
The cold water snapped him awake as the remnants of the water dripped down his neck. Coleman resembled more of his mother than his father. He had clean and smooth skin with natural, neat eyebrows and thin lips. He was happy that he resembled his mother rather than his bastard of a father. But he hated his eyes. Though they had the shape of his mother's, the color and feel when you look into them, was identical to his father's.
He wiped the rest of the water off his neck and got changed into a basic jogger and a shirt. He left his penthouse and went for his morning jog. He played music in his ears, but he couldn't hear it at all. His mind kept going back to Leo.
He couldn't help, but think of the boy. He knew that these were the signs that he loved him and he knew that he wanted nothing more than to be with, talk with, and touch him, but part of him kept him from doing so. Part of him believed that if he were to reach out to Leo, then he would corrupt or ruin him. He wanted something, he knew he couldn't have.
It was like the two were separated by a glass wall. The two could see each other and talk with each other, but would always be apart.
He stopped by a tree and panted. Beads of sweat ran down his forehead. Coleman looked t his hand, 'I can't have him...'
He frowned a bit and went back to his jog. He followed his normal route back home.
Once he got back to his penthouse, he stripped out of his sweaty clothes and took a long cold shower. He washed his hair and let the cold water run on his body. When he finished it was about 5am. He got dressed in a casual suit and headed to work at 5:30.
He stepped out of the car and walked into the building. As he entered, he was greeted the same way by everyone. Everyone always greeted him with a, "Hello sir," or a, "Hi sir."
Coleman wasn't bothered by it, but sometimes he wishes that his employees would be more calm and casual around him.
Leo popped into his mind. He remembered all the times Leo called his name. Leo had always greeted him more calmly than everyone else. It made him feel....warm.
'Wait, no, stop it! You can't do that!'
Colman frowned a bit, 'You can't show him, Just continue being his boss like normal.'
Coleman finally got to the entrance of his office, but when he opened the door, his mouth opened a little bit in shock.
He saw Leo sitting down at his desk with a coffee on his hand and one already sitting on Coleman's desk for him.
"Hi, good morning Mr.Coleman. I got here a bit earlier than usual so I went ahead and made you coffee already. I just brought in in about a minute ago."
Leo's smile and greeting was warm and pulled on Coleman's heart.
'No, no! Act normal...'
"Ah, thank you Leo," Coleman said calmly.
He walked over to his desk and sat down on his chair. He acted like nothing had happened. Coleman looked towards the coffee and smiled to himself. He grabbed the coffee and lifted it to his lips to take a sip. As it flowed down his throat, it wasn't just the coffee that made him warm, it was the fact that it was made by Leo.
Just the simple gesture, made Coleman feel so warm and happy. He had already told himself that he wouldn't pursue Leo, but just being with him made him happy.
He continued to take sips at his coffee while looking at his computer. As he typed, he was much more focused and tense than usual.
He kept busying himself with work. Anything to try to keep his mind off of Leo who was sitting across the room.
They both were deep into their work until Leo asked, "It's already noon, would you like anything to eat?"
Coleman's head snapped towards Leo's direction as he heard his voice, "Ah, yes, thank you."
Leo smiled a bit m, before leaving the room with a click of the door. Coleman sighed. He didn't expect to so thrown off his game just because of one person.
He leaned his head in his palm and slouched in his seat. He tapped his finger on his desk and was in a daze.
He stopped tapping the desk and sat back up im his chair.
'You can't let yourself get distracted by him! You must just be his boss! Nothing more nothing less.'
Leo came back into the room with a sandwich for Mr.Coleman and a salad for himself. He placed the salad on his own desk before giving Coleman his sandwich.
Coleman took the sandwich and began to eat it. The rest of the day went on smoothly. Finally it came the time when Leo had to leave.
He said goodbye to Coleman and left the building, leaving him alone.
Coleman breathed a sigh of relief when Leo was gone. The boy made his heart tense and he couldn't take it.
A couple minutes later Ms.Amber came in the office with a grin plastered on her face.
She walked in and chuckled, "So, I'm guessing you like Leo..."
Coleman coughed and choked at the sudden question. He was debating in his mind on wether to lie and say that he wasn't or to tell her the truth. But in that moment of hesitation, Ms.Amber had seen through it.
"Yes! I knew it" she yelled. She was smiling brightly and and jumping in the sir while clapping her hands.
Coleman groaned, "...How did you know?"
"Oh, you must already know that I have a nack for these types of things. And plus I ship it!"
Coleman's face turned red as he hurriedly got up and shooed her away. He pushed her to the door while telling her to get out.
She laughed the whole time. Once, the door shut, Coleman leaned against the door and groaned in annoyance.
Ms.Amber yelled from behind the door, "Even if you shove me out of the office, it still proves you like him!"
"Why you!"
